How I reduced eye fatigue
This will be obvious for a lot of people but just want to report what I learned in case its helpful. Been working on computers since 2017 and most days I feel fatigue in my eyes at end of the day. Sometimes it's even still there when I wake up. I just assumed it was endemic to the work. But finally I stopped being a… -
Re: (Finished) - Sci-Fi Atrium Environment – (UE5)
Love how clearly you’ve framed the goals upfront - you’re already thinking in terms of pipeline and not just “pretty shot”, which is perfect for a big atrium like this. From a level / environment artist who spends a lot of time on modular kits: at this stage I’d pick 2-3 “test shots” from player height (ground + one higher… -
Re: How to plan cliff packs for game environments? Any good references or breakdowns for other games?
That is a way to do it, but usually rocks and boulders have very different characteristics from cliffs in terms of shape and details. When creating rocky environments you usually want to retain a consistency in detail level and shape size, even if they might be made from the same rock/mineral type. So if you take a human… -
Re: guns, lots of guns
M4 has several Inaccuracies.. The whole Flashhider is messed up, and nothing to do with the real thing. Most of all it´s missing the vent holes. Google Bird-Cage Flashhider for Ref. Frontsight. People tend to fuck it up usally.. badly. 1. The "boxy" part right above the barrel (where the gastube leads in), should be… -
Re: Feedback - Rainy Environment work
An old sign like you have there would usually not be covered in a water-resistant finish, so the water wouldn't bead up on it. I'd recommend gathering a bunch of photo reference of wood planks or siding or signs in the rain. https://depositphotos.com/photo/closeup-of-wet-old-wooden-planks-164126238.html I would also… -
Re: When paint with stencil decal gets bad quality
Looks like your UV islands are pretty loosely packed . Modern UV packers could do much better usually . It could give you more pixels per certain detail. Then you can bend /deform other islands slightly for tighter pack , just slightly. Then you could upscale the island having this sign a bit. It may sound like blasphemy… -
Re: Can anyone make this more elegant/professional
( I tried having a go at it, there is a "bug" where if you drag click with move, rotate or scale tool you can still apply the effect by letting go of the mouse button before you stop moving the cursor. Although I haven't been able to get it to apply the tool effect when testing with a wacom, but only with my mouse. I'm… -
3d Art team with HUGE industry experience (10y+, 11 AAA games: Metro: Exodus, STALKER 2, Payday 2/3)
We’ve all been there. You find a "bargain" 3D studio or a freelancer with a killer ArtStation, but three weeks later, you’re the one staying up until 2 AM fixing non-manifold geometry and flipped normals. The truth? The hidden cost to make a video game isn't the initial invoice — it’s the "rework tax." If you’re a Lead… -
Re: Zbrush extracted mesh causing doubles and inverted normals ?
By now you figured out a solution right? i try to fix this with inflate and dynameshing to a high % perhaps 4096 might work, click it, then remesh to a "quaded retopo". and adjust as needed, probably a good "cloth" sym over your "basemesh or design", will sort the issues out, though i've had a tough time getting the cloth… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | September - October (98)
This is my project based on the Fatekeeper Concept by Art by Daniel Alekow, It was definitely difficult but I'm satisfied with the end result compared to my usual speed, although I didn't make the deadline. I tried to stick more closely to the concept since I'm not great at designing but Its awesome to see the details…
